Stafford in the very near future promises
fine school building and hence facilities
for excellent educational advantages. Bonds
were voted Saturday, July 2d-315 for and
none against. Stafford is as proud of this
vote as newly married couple of their
first born.
Also had one of the loveliest and inter
esting Fourth Of July celebrations ever held
in the town. The Grafton was delivered by
Judge Charles B. Green of Emporia, of
Minnie Walkup trial fame. The Grafton
was received and commended by every one
present as the finest that they ever had the
good fortune to listen to. Everybody and
their folks were happy. Fully five thous-
and people were on the ground The
principal feature Of the day was the parade
headed by the Stafford cornet band. next
ship of state, with goddess of liberty and
thirty small girls representing the
states and as we'll as the army and navy
was represented, drawn by sixteen mules
or eight span; then followed prominent
speakers, mayor and city council and full
representation of all trades and business in
the city, and was grand to behold. Moth
ing happened to mar the Fourth and all
went home, some so late as morning, feel
ing that they had passed one of the happi-
est and pleasantest days Of a lifetime.
The city is enjoying prosperous time,
constantly building, and every soul in the
city and surroundings are more than proud
of its future Our two railroads in full
operation adds wonders to our prosperity.
The procession of Lady Godiva is still
an annual observance in Coventry, Eng
land, but the woman who represents the
kind hearted wife of Earl Leofric wears
more clothing than the famous original
The local belle who recently assumed the
character in the pageant was attired in a
gown designed after sketch dated 1850.
The under robe was of cream satin gather
ed in the waster sleeves long and hung
loosely from band of gold on the upper
part of the arms by jeweled girdle; cloak
of rose colored velvet, trimmed with gold
and lace and precious stones; jeweled
caronet and chain bracelets, and other
ornaments in the hair, which fell over her
shoulders in long waves. The steed she
rode was magnificent dap2le gray.

entire distance except fanfare of uum-

The procession was in three sections with
an interval of fifteen minutes between
the two first sections and thirty minutes be-

A CHICAGO paper says the indications
are that fully 21.000 miles of new rail-
road will be built in the United States
this year, and congratulates the coun-
try on the fact. If the journal really
believes there will be such extensive
building of new road, it should mourn
for the country, rather than rejoice
over the prospect. Too much railroad
building hurts more than too little.
Excessive railroad construction has in
every instance been followed by ,fnan-
cial and industrial distress. A road
which is not needed becomes a very
heavy tax upon the immediate COM
munity, and if that community cannet
bear the burden, the men whose money
built it must suffer loss. As the growth
of our country and the development of
the country's institutions demand the
building of from 5000 to 5000 miles Of
new road each year, the construction of
81 600 would certainly prove disastrous.
The country is just recovering
from the efectsssof the craze to
build railroads which resulted in
the construction of nearly12, 900 miles
in 1882 .ASailroad which il not needed
is an injury rather than 8 benefit, and
this country has certainly not made
such rapid progress during the year. as

The railrSa IS don't find 1t necessary
TO form pools for the purpose OF keep
j lg up the rates, hence the clause CT the
Interstate Commerce Act forbidding
the practice on the part of the common
carriers is as weak and valueless as the
other provisions of the law. In our
dispatches it will be seen how the trans
continental roads are arranging plan
by which they expect to maintain high
rates by means of combination with
the Canadian Pacific and the Pacific
Mail Steamship Lire. Thus, with the
long and short haul clause of the law
suspended by the Commission as in
operative and the pool prevention
clause defeated by the roads them
selves, the Inter State Act is just about
what the railroads wanted to enable
them to plumber the public legally and
without the annoyance OF being blamed
for their extortion. The companies
now lay the fault at the door OF Con-
gress, which passed the law and i'm
posed such severe penalties for its vio-
lation. If railway managers had the
framing of law. they could not word
it to suit them better than this one
does.

MoFFAT, THE new president of the
Denver and Rio Grande, displays rail-
way wisdom at the outset by retaining
the old managerial force. President
Jackson may have been slow and want
ing in aggressiveness, but he surrounded
himself with men who knew how to
run railroad. No railway in the west
has a more efficient lot of men in re-
sponsible positions, than the D. & R. G.
President Moffat seems to understand
this fact, hence he holds on to the force

CONFEDERATE BONDS,

The committee in this country repre-
senti1g the foreign holders of Confed-
crate bonds have issued another en-
couraging circular to their clients
Formerly they used to assure the hold
ers that the United States government
would assume the payment of the bonds,
but it finally dawned upon the owners
of the securities" that the United
States were not likely to do anything of
the sort. Now the committee say in
their circular that the next Congress
will authorize the bringing of suits for
the money in the Court of Claims. This
assurance may keep up courage little
while longer, and may serve 20 bring
forth another assessment; and then g
new dodge will have. to be tried. Even
if the committee were correct IN the
assumption that Congress will
authorize the bringing of suits in
the Court of Claims, how would that
help the bondholders . their money :?
A Court OF Claims judgment against the
defunct Confederacy would be about IS

dow. The Confederate bonds will be

If THE Mormons were to take the

managers would still be unhappy. The
League will never be content, until it
has accomplished one of two things

by the League. What q long period of

REGISTER.

It stands everybody in hand to see
that his name is placed on the registra-
ton list, and to attend to the matter at
once. The registration will close the
first week in June. During this month
the registrars are accommodating the
public; that is, to say, they are visiting
the houses in their respective districts,
and recording the names of the voters at
their homes; the officers are supposed
20 call at every house in their respective
precincts, and offer to register all who
can or will conform to the conditions
imposed. After this month, however,
the would-be voter must make the eff
fort or lose his right TO vote. AS this is
TO be a new and complete registration.
the old lists which have been running
since 1882 being discarded, there will be
no time to squander. The registrars
will be kept busy if they perform their
duty faithfully, and the voters can not
trjfe and d lay as in the past.
The election in August will be the
most important ever held in the Terri
tory. The county and precinct officers
are to be chosen, but the
interest will centre in the Legislature.
The Acknowledgement of women and the
further restriction of male suffrage
make it certain that the anti-Mormons
will elect some members of the Legisia-
ture. They will have seats in each
house of the Assembly. 1t is for the
Peoples Party to see that the Liberals
do not secure q majority In either
house. The course pursued by the Lib
erals, and their desperation at the pres
ent time, should be notice to the public
that if the Loyal League, which is only
another uame for the Liberal organiza.
ton, shall get control of one Assembly
they wiz eyer after be supreme in this
Territory. The laws which they will
enact will be of such character as to
deprive every Mormon and every per-
son who believes in being fair towards
Mornens, of all political rights
Many hesitate when confronted with
the. present oath to which they
mus subscribe before they can vote.
but &C Liberal Legislature, a Liberal
Governor working hsrmoniously with
1t, Will formulate an oath to which no
Mormon can subscribe, and will so
resH-ict suffrage that it will be impossi-
ole for Mormon to vote until he has
renowned his religion. If people will
LOOK at the situation closely and intelli-
gently, they will see great danger
ahead, and take the precautions neces-
sary to meet and overcome it. If the
members of the Peoples party will per-
form their duty to themselves and the
community. they will register and vote
and thus retain control OF the Legisla
ture, insuring a continuance of good
and honest government and preventing
the passage of partissR laws. There is
business for central committees and
influential citizens this month, and it is
hoped that no one will neglect his
share of the important labor to be per
formed. ~

The STORY which we publish else
where in this issue of The HERALD,
concerning the alleged Mormon elder,
Joshua Baker, being on exhibition in
Chicago dime museum, is so improb-
able that even rabid Gentiles here can
not swallow it, The Loyal League may
almost be expected to resolve" against
it. Two weeks ago the Chicago papers
printed an illustrated advertisement of
the museum in question, in which
Elder Baker aud his family were pic
tured out after the manner of the cuts
we see in the cheap and nasty anti
Mormon books. Since then the story
which we print has been travelling
around among the newspapers. II the
whole thing wasn't SO ridiculous and
improbable, it might be worth while to
remark that Mormon elders do not
roam over the country with three wives
and a score or such matter of child
rem; they do not go. from Idaho to
Alabams with their families; they do
not exhibit themselves in dime mu-
seums. and they do Mons Of the things
which Elder Baker" is alleged to be
doing. We imagine the museum pro-
prietors have gotten up the Typical
Mormonfsmily" as Barnurn gets up bis
wild men from Borneo, and his tattooed
women from the islands of the Pacific
and for the same purpose, namely, to
make money by humbugging the peo-
pie. There are men and women,
though we don't believe there are any
in Mormondom, depraved enough to
do as Joshua Baker and the miserabl e
creatures with him are doing.
